JUST A HEADS UP! Stable, Sturdy TRIPOD SALE!!!

This tripod (National Geographic) that I got almost a couple years ago is only $45 on Amazon! They've been as high as $165. It's very solid, stable & reliable. Originally I had a saddle clamp on it for my rifles but attached mounting plate directly to my new (to me) r3 long slugger. A few other people here have recently bought at higher price and are very satisfied.

I shoot the generic version with red orange anodizing off Amazon for a much lower price. FANTASTIC tripod for airguns and laser levels with arca adapters. It's so versatile with all the adjustments available.

I got mine for $16 on a crazy 1day sale. Never thought it'd be robust enough but was a cheap gamble. It's been absolutely amazing without having to spend hundreds! Way better'n I'd expected, WAY better. That Edgun is back heavy & it has no problem holding it stable.

What mounting plate is that?
 
Did you have to screw that piece into the bottom of your stock?
On MY gun, yes, I did. My other 2 guns I used the saddle clamp for. If you look closely at the picture of my Edgun up above in this thread you can see the last 1/4" of the screw protruding through the back of the forestock. I didn't HAVE to but chose to. Balance of the gun on tripod is much better this way than with the clamp.

Yeah I have a clamp but the bottom of my gun isn’t flat so it’s not a great fit. I’m trying to figure out a decent arca option. But I have mlok on the bottom.

They have $10 Arca mlok rails https://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Compatiable-Arca-Swiss-Dovetail-Ballhead/dp/B0C1RYKJPB

Since the 8kg NatGeo one is out of stock I got this $56 15kg ~36mm ballhead arca 71" tripod https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B63VTW46

I think the NatGeo is a 24mm ballhead if it's 8kg. There's some $30 45mm ballheads but they don't have a 'damping' screw.

Used this $35 saddle clamp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BZPNLHVN

Some bungee cord system or something to secure rifle onto saddle in case the head slips and slam tilts would be nice as a stopgap until there's best known methods of adding permanent mounts on each type of rifle.

Thank you bro I appreciate that. I have a clamp on my tripod now and it’s actually pretty secure but it always wants to grip it at a cant since my gun isn’t flat on the bottom… I’ve been looking around online at this stuff but I’ve been trying to hear from other airgunners on which specific models they actually use and like. Haha don’t wanna buy a 3rd time on this since after the clamp this is already number 2 haha
